Battle of Vacherauville

The Battle of Vacherauville (19 June 1916) occurred when the Imperial German Army launched an assault on French Army positions at Vacherauville during the Battle of Verdun. The French defended a series of trenches outside of one of Verdun's fortresses, and they held back several German waves as they charged against the French lines. The French succeeded in inflicting heavy losses on the Germans before tactically repositioning to more defensive positions, and the fighting at Verdun raged on.
